DuPont Model Analysis
The DuPont model decomposes return on equity (ROE) into three operating and capital-structure drivers:
ROE = Net Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
The comparison uses the latest two comparable annual periods available for the issuer, with reported statement amounts shown in US$. Revenue and net income are income-statement flows; total assets and shareholders’ equity are year-end balance-sheet figures. This is a simplified year-end-balance DuPont comparison rather than an average-balance ROE calculation.
| DuPont component | Calculation | FY2025 | FY2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | Reported revenue | $21.59B | $22.02B |
| Net income | Reported net income | $1.61B | $2.36B |
| Total assets | Year-end reported balance | $84.19B | $85.44B |
| Shareholders’ equity | Year-end reported balance | $36.03B | $34.16B |
| Net margin | Net income ÷ revenue | 7.47% | 10.74% |
| Asset turnover | Revenue ÷ total assets | 0.2565x | 0.2577x |
| Equity multiplier | Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity | 2.3363x | 2.5014x |
| ROE | Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier | 4.47% | 6.92% |
